Level Up - Chapter 20

“I’m going to kill that bastard. Hahaha!”
The taxi drove away from the bustling area of Gangwon-do and moved towards the mountainside.
Hyeon Seok got in a taxi, got off in the middle of Gangwon-do, and went straight off the road to the mountain.

Of course, Joo Kyung Chul was forced to leave the car suddenly and pursue Hyeon Seok.

In fact, I should have done the job in the middle even if I hit the taxi, but when I saw it moving toward Gangwon-do, I decided to watch it a bit more.

If you come to this place, you will be able to minimize evidence because there are few eyes nearby.

There was no problem except for two things, that there were more cars running nearby than I expected, and that when he passed a place where there were few cars passing by, Hyun Seok descended as if waiting and went up the mountain.

Joo Kyung Chul suddenly clenched his teeth, seeing the suit and shoes he was wearing in a mess because of climbing the mountain.
“Do you know how pricey these things are…..”
Joo Kyung Chul lifted his head and looked up at the top. He was able to see Hyeon Seok standing in the distance.

He seemed to have gone up the middle of the mountain. It wasn’t a hiking trail, so there was no trace of people passing by, and it was a place where it was not easy to move.
‘What is he doing? I don’t think he’s resting….’
Hyeon Seok was waiting for Joo Kyung Chul leisurely. In addition, all the guild members of the Crimson Poison Guild were following Joo Kyung Chul.

Joo Kyung Chul was alert. I have experienced a few painful experiences when I rushed into an opponent with such a relaxed attitude.

While paused, the guild members joined in one after another. There were no guild members left under the mountain. He came up with his car on the side of the road.

The car was not important anyway, it was more important to catch the prey called Hyun Seok.

And it also wasn’t very important to Hyun Seok.

“Brother, when he is resting, will you go and catch him?”

I was able to catch him with little effort, but I was asked what I was doing here.

There are many differences between players and the general public. Among them, the most important thing was the presence or absence of magic power.

With it all physical abilities go up.

However, the rise of physical ability does not mean becoming a superhuman out of common sense.

The only time the player exerts superhuman power was when using magical power.

Of course, every time you level,your physical and mental powers increase little by little, and if you become a high level player, you will eventually gain power beyond humanity, but that does not happen at level 50.

That’s why the Crimson Poison Guild members who were brought up to this point were also panting. No matter how good Vitality is, if you jump up a mountain that has no road, you have to be tired.

So everyone was very ill. In addition, there was a complaint to Joo Kyung Chul, who is taking time off here.

Joo Kyung Chul did not expect such an atmosphere. But it was much more important for him to get rid of the risk than it would have been to get out of his people’s complaints.

So, as a result of observing Hyun Seok carefully, he was able to figure out why he was standing there.

“Dungeon?”

“What do you mean, brother?”

“Isn’t that a Dungeon?”

The place that Joo Kyung Chul pointed to with his finger was behind Hyun Seok. It was also covered by Hyun Seok’s body, and it was difficult to see at first glance because of its shadow, but when it was recognized properly, it was clear.

“What? Really? Brother! That’s a dungeon! ”

“Looking at the size,it looks like a bronze rating, right?”

Hyun Seok was standing right in front of him and he could confirm the diameter by that. It was definitely a bronze grade.

“I’ve heard that dungeons may be created separately in places other than the spawning area, but this is the first time I’ve seen them.”

The guild member saw it with mysterious eyes. But soon greed appeared in his eyes.

That was a dungeon that the management center didn’t know about. So if you use it well, you will be able to get the dungeon items including spirit stones in a negative way by avoiding the eyes of the management center.

I’ve heard that organizations and guilds with quite a lot of power own some dungeons like that, but it looked like this.

“Jin-Ah.”

“Yes, brother.”

“I’ll have to catch that bitch. He knows a lot more than I thought. ”

“That’s why I came here. That’s right. Now we have it all. Why would he come here? I’m going to hide in a dungeon, isn’t this why? ”

“Right.”

“There is no escaping once inside.”

Joo Kyung Chul nodded greatly. It is certainly true. Once you enter the dungeon, you have no choice but to come back to the entrance or clear the dungeon.

But even if you clear it, it will only appear again where the original dungeon entrance was.

So, as a result, there seems to be no corner to escape.

But that was not what Joo Kyung Chul wanted.

“How many levels is he?”

“I do not know. But you can guess. ”

Kwak Myeong Jin turned his head and looked at Choi Chang Soo. Then Choi Chang Soo came forward.

“The level is not the problem ,but the skill is great.Probably 40 in terms of level.”

“40? Are you sure? ”

“Not sure. Maybe he was hiding more of his skills. But… .”

Joo Kyung Chul was able to find out even without listening to the end. If he had the ability to hide, he did not have to work with Choi Chang Soo in the first place.

That means he needed them.

“It’s about 40. You have to give it a bit… . Between 45 to 50.”

The estimate is over. Joo Kyung Chul said what he really wanted.

“If you are at that level and fight well, it is not impossible to clear one bronze dungeon. It depends on how many levels it has.”

“That’s right, brother.”

Kwak Myeong Jin immediately grasped what Joo Kyung Chul wanted and gave the desired answer.

“Wouldn’t it be enough if only three guys to keep the entrance were left behind?”

Joo Kyung Chul smiled and walked toward Hyun Seok.

“Okay. Never let it clear. That dungeon is ours. Do you understand?”

“That’s right, Kwak Myeong Jin.”

“Yes, I believe in you. Let’s go.

Joo Kyung Chul flew quickly. Then the Crimson Poison guild members followed.

Hyun Seok looked at them in front of the dungeon and calmly confirmed those who were running.

‘Twenty-five. The highest level is 54 while the lowest is 28. Choi Chang Soo has leveled up again.’

Choi Chang Soo went up to 28th level. And the Crimson Poison Guild members were at least level 33.

The level of the guild master, Joo Kyung Chul, was 54. It seemed he had been pushing hard.

Hyun Seok nodded.

“It’s not bad to start with.”

Hyun Seok did not intend to leave any of the Crimson Poison Guild even if they were seven-year olds.

If you leave such guys, you will have a backache. In such a case, it is enough to just clean them up.

Hyun Seok threw himself into the dungeon when Joo Kyung Chul snorted and reached the dungeon.

‘You really do not know what kind of dungeon you have just fallen into’

A faint smile formed on Hyun Seok’s mouth as he entered the dungeon.

Joo Kyung Chul, who had been in the back, and the Crimson Poison guild members including Choi Chang Soo could not see the meaningful smile of Hyun Seok.

So apparently, the Bronze Class 3 dungeon swallowed everyone.

Where they disappeared, only an ominous black vortex remained. Then, after a while, there was no need to jump, so three slow-walking Crimson Poison guild members started guarding Dungeon.

They were high-level players each reaching level 40. If Hyun Seok jumps out, he deliberately left people with excellent skills so that they could catch him anytime.

“Do not relax. I do not know when and what will happen.”

Of course they had no idea. If they miss out here, they will not be alive.

There was tension constantly flowing.

* * *

As soon as Hyun Seok entered the dungeon, he moved to the originally planned point. It was not far from the entrance.

There was something to be done before fighting the Crimson Poison Guild who will come in soon.

It was moving the entrance. If you do not hide it in a place where no one knows, there will surely be someone who runs away.

The key to this operation was to ensure that no one escaped. Including the players who will guard the entrance to the dungeon outside.

There was a really tricky place near the entrance. It was an undisclosed place, but it was a place that would never be known unless you go nearby and look carefully at it.

Hyun Seok hid himself there.

After a while, Choi Chang Soo came into the dungeon, including Joo Kyung Chul and the other Crimson Poison Guild members.

“Damn it. What is this? Was there a dungeon like this? I’ve never heard of this place before? ”

As soon as Joo Kyung Chul came in, he frowned and complained.

He would be like this, too. In addition, the cave structure did not seem so simple.

It seemed to be intertwined like a maze. Just looking around without moving, I saw five holes that could go elsewhere.

Assuming that each was connected by several other roads, it was a headache to think about how complex it would be.

“It’s important not to get lost. I know why he dragged us into this dungeon. Everybody watch out for surprise attacks. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

The guild members answered with their eyes shining. Clearly, it was important to cope with surprise attacks in this type of dungeon.

Next, we needed a device to get back to this place anytime. It can not be erased or changed by others.

There was just something suitable.

“It would be good here.”

Joo Kyung Cheol made the bottom of the wall deeper and then buried one ring-shaped mechanism.

He did not forget to make it difficult to recognize even if someone looked closely.

It was a device that emitted a powerful signal. Wherever they were, wherever there was a signal, they could know the location.

It was not possible to accurately find the path of a maze-like structure, but it was not difficult to go back to the original position even if only the direction was known.

Unless this cave structure is an artificially created maze to confuse people.

Of course, even if it is such a maze, you will find a way someday if you capture the signal.

Anyway, Joo Kyung Chul, who prepared such a safety device, led his party and moved inside the cave. They did not forget to mark it as they went.

Someone pulled out a pad and started recording the map. It was a more intimate team than I thought.

When they disappeared, Hyun Seok who was hiding nearby appeared.

“The system is starting to take off.”

At this time, Hyun Seok was also a member of the Crimson Poison Guild. At that time, there was no way to judge whether the system was going on or not. He was just struggling to keep the body from being abused.

“Well, let’s move from the entrance.”

Hyun Seok smiled and approached the entrance, holding his palm to the black vortex.

At that moment, the vortex began to move slowly, surprisingly. It moved as if it were following the path of magic tha Hyun Seok laid in advance.

The black vortex was slow, but it certainly did begin to move.

A smile lingered around Hyun Seok’s mouth.

Now it’s time for the real hunt to begin.
